Not the best experience in service, but enjoyed the trip
Flight was cancelled a few hours before I was due to fly, options I was provided was to fly to another park ( which after agreeing was told was no longer available) or fly 3 hours later, which meant basically lose the best part of the day for safari, leaving me with no options, in addition this later flight was further delayed when I received the the ticket it was actually due to fly 30 minutes after the time I was told further delaying a already late schedule. In addition. I was told the day would be extended 30 minutes to reduce the 3+ hours lost, however this was not true and the day actually ended around 1hrs earlier, so in total my day ended around 4hours shorter than what paid for
I rarely post a negative review, so to end on a better note, the day itself was still enjoyable, I had no further problems and the organiser discounted me a small amount 50 dollars, although not much considering almost 900 dollars paid and losing more than a third of the time I was meant to be out. I'll give the company the benefit of doubt that my situation is probably unusual, but the resulting service was poor
Reply from Lekobe Adventures Safaris
Posted on Feb 7, 2025Dear Zuber,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. First and foremost, I would like to sincerely apologize for the challenges you experienced during your day safari. We value your trust in our services, especially during such an important time as your honeymoon, and I deeply regret that your experience did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the issues raised, I would like to offer some clarifications:
1. Flight Cancellations and Delays
The flight cancellation, which occurred a few hours before your scheduled departure, was entirely out of our control. We do not manage or have authority over flight operations, and such cancellations are made by the airline due to reasons beyond our influence. Once we were informed of the cancellation, we immediately communicated this to you and offered an alternative option to fly to another park, as we wanted to ensure your special day was not entirely disrupted.
Unfortunately, after you agreed to the alternative, the airline informed us that this option was no longer available. This, again, was due to decisions made by the airline, not our company. We understand how disappointing this must have been, and we truly empathize with your frustration.
The subsequent delay of the rescheduled flight was another factor beyond our control. As soon as we received the updated flight information from the airline, we passed it on to you. While we strive to provide accurate and timely updates, we rely on the airline’s communication, which can sometimes change unexpectedly.
2. Shortened Safari Time
We acknowledge your disappointment with the reduced safari time. When we learned of the flight delays, we extended the safari by 30 minutes as a goodwill gesture to compensate for some of the lost time. However, we take full responsibility for the safari ending earlier than planned to ensure you could catch the return flight, which operates on a strict schedule. This adjustment was made in your best interest, but we deeply regret that we did not communicate this decision to you clearly in advance.
3. Compensation
We are grateful that you acknowledged the partial refund of $50 we provided. While we hoped it would help mitigate some of the inconvenience caused, we understand your concerns that it may not fully reflect the value of the time lost. Please accept our sincere apologies for this as well as the overall disruption to your day.
Despite these challenges, we are grateful to hear that you still found parts of the day enjoyable. Our aim has always been to provide you with a memorable and fulfilling experience, especially on such a significant occasion.
We deeply regret the unforeseen issues caused by the flight cancellations and delays, and we appreciate your understanding that these were beyond our control. However, we take full responsibility for areas where we could have communicated better or managed expectations more effectively. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an experience that truly meets and exceeds your expectations in the future.
Thank you once again for your feedback and for allowing us the opportunity to address your concerns. If there’s anything further we can do to assist or if you’d like to discuss this matter further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Many thanks,
LeKobe Adventures & Safaris

A professional, very helpfull organization. Giving support throughout the whole safari, start to end
We booked a two-day safari in Nyerere National Park with Lekobe. The planning started while we were still at home, and the communication was good from the beginning. Lazier was helpful, replied quickly, and gave us an attractive offer. Shortly before the trip, we had some more contact, which was both professional and friendly.
We were picked up from our hotel at the agreed time by a good driver. At the airport, Lazier was waiting for us and helped us with the final arrangements. After landing, our safari guide David was already waiting for us with the Land Rover. David took his time, told us a lot about the animals we saw, and took very good care of us. He provided a delicious and generous breakfast and lunch. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The accommodation was excellent. Also when we came back to Zanzibar after the two day safari, Lazier was there to get us to the taxi which brought us back to the resort.
We are very happy that we booked this safari with a local company. The value for money was outstanding, and we highly recommend Lekobe to other travelers!
Professional and friendly
Elvis set everything up perfectly and answered all my questions. Everything including the vehicle and lodging was exactly as described. Phillip the guide was wonderful. Friendly, patient and so knowledgeable

Explore Great Migration | Pro Guides & Efficient Local Service to Meet African Big Five
Our guide picked us up starting from Mount Kilimanjaro. Our first stop was Tarangire National Park, known as a paradise for elephants. We were incredibly lucky to spot a leopard right after entering the park. Along the way, we also saw elephants, lions, giraffes and many other wild animals.
We then headed to the Ngorongoro Crater, before moving on to the iconic Serengeti Grasslands. There, we witnessed the great migration of wildebeests and zebras. We also came across a pride of 15 lions and watched them hunt, which was absolutely breathtaking.
I had long hoped to see cheetahs. Our guide went out of his way and spent three hours searching patiently. Eventually, we found three cheetahs, making my wish come true.
Knowledgeable, dedicated and responsible, he led us to see a great variety of rare wildlife throughout the trip.
These five days were truly rewarding and unforgettable. Getting up close to the wild beauty and vitality of the African savanna was an amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour group and our excellent guide!

An indescribable 2-day/1-night safari
Many thanks to Jessica and Elvis for planning, our guides, who accompanied us during the day and on our night drive. Unfortunately, we didn't see any lions, but we did see all the other animals: elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, warthogs, leopards, wildebeest, water buffalo, antelopes, and more. The lodge where we stayed was fantastic. Everything went smoothly. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Great family experience
If you’re doubting whether to go on safari with young children — just do it. We went on safari with our kids, including our youngest who is only 3 years old, and it was truly an unforgettable experience for our family.
Everything with Lekobe Safari was very well organized from start to finish. The communication was smooth and clear, and throughout the day we felt completely taken care of. Our guide and driver were incredibly friendly, patient, and wonderful with the children, which made the experience even more enjoyable and relaxed for us as parents.
During our safari in Mikumi National Park we saw so many amazing animals and had an incredible day together as a family. Although we didn’t spot a lion, our guide and driver truly did everything they could to find one for us. You could really see how dedicated and enthusiastic they were, and that made the experience special regardless.
Safari with young children may seem challenging, but Lekobe Safari showed us that it can be comfortable, easy, and absolutely magical. We would highly recommend them to any family considering this adventure.

Most amazing safari experience
We had the most amazing time in Tanzania with LeKobe. From virtual coordination, sending quotations and to responding to our questions, they were super flexible when we were planning our experience. Both Jessica and Elvis were super helpful to plan and brief us. Once we arrived in Tanzania, the experience just got better. Efraim (our guide) was a real genius, and a safari expert. He knew how to navigate the landscape in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, and was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and plants. We are super glad that we decided to go with LeKobe Adventures. Thank you LeKobe for your assistance and we would highly recommend you to any fellow travellers

Perfectly organised event from collection to return at hotel. Minimal unnecessary waiting arround.
At the time of booking our hotel (Matemwe Altitude) had not opened but it was effortlessly simple to sort out later. They were quick to confirm booking and step by step to finalise the day via WhatsApp. The Safari was great and the guides worked hard to make sure we saw as much as possible and also very informative, totally dedicated and clearly enjoyed making a great day out for all.
